pro = they'll know when your test is and will be able to wish you luck etc.

con = they won't.

I wasn't keen about telling people when I was due to sit my test. Mainly because none of my friends or family wanted me riding a bike in the first place.
I did crack and tell a couple of people the night before because I felt I needed to explain why I was a bit nervous and jittery.
If you're not sure wait until nearer the date and see how you feel then.

By the way... Best of luck on the day

I have got mine very soon and have only told my OH.... I wouldnt have told him, but I had too, cos I need him to take time off work, to look after the skids.

im gonna try and tell everyone I know, that way i'll try harder as to not go through the embarrasment of failing my test however, I totally ripped it out of my friend for failing his car test so im probably gonna get the same treatment back

Just tell the people that will support you, not your mates who will take the piss if you fail. Nothing wrong with failing the first one anyway, a lot of people have and consider the first test a practice run. Up to you really. I told everyone. And the first time i did my test and failed my mates took the piss. But when i passed two weeks later i enjoyed ramming it back down their throats

i told people and i failed but they said better luck next time and i got my re test on tues so this time i got 2x the luck

[mikeoldcars]

i told a select few, and supprised everyone else when i passed first time (myself included)

[thebat]

Personally i didnt tell anyone i was even doing the course.. kept it all quiet for over a month... not that i like keeping secrets but had better response when i passed and turned up on my big shinny blue bandit..lol

[Rookie]

I didn't tell anyone but put the date in my sig, I figured people wouldn't remember. As it happens someone was watching and started a thread about it, but not until I was out on the lesson before the test. So I didn't have to worry about failing whilst I did the test, but passed and got the nice thread wishing me luck.

Tar Rookie!
